little detail: ebay hasn't *always* claimed they got 28.4 % (which is closer to 30% than 25%) , they initially claimed it was "approximately 25%" (ebaypress release at the time), which fit Craig's/craigslist's story. I find it intriguing that according to the complaint, Craig&Jim dilutedebay to 25.01% (which definitely qualifies as "approximately 25%" as ebay initially said...) D.just to clarify: according to ebay's complaint, craigslist did subsequent dilutions of ebay's share of craigslist: the dilution to 25.01% came about in 2005 when employees were given stock options(top of 2nd page with a footnoted eplanation); further dilution to under 25% happened more recently and prompted ebay's law suit.
